Geography Corners

Whilst lying in bed the other night, I came up with a fun idea for improving children's geographical knowledge of where different places are using the classic game of 'corners'. Whenever you have a few minutes to spare - such as at the end of the day - get your children up and moving and competing against each other to see who can correctly identify different places on a map from multiple choice options, as shown in these slides which play in a random order each time. Let me know if you use them in your classroom and what your children think of this game as I'm sure it could be quite easily adapted to other topics too.

You will need to enable macros to ensure the slides in these PowerPoints I've made play in a random order.

Ways to Integrate Twitter into School Life I visited a local school to help them set up a school Twitter account this morning and thought that people might find these tips I shared with them useful, based on the system I've set up and promoted at my school, Parkfield Primary: Only have one Twitter account for the whole school. Some people like their own class teacher or department accounts but this just becomes a jumble from examples I've seen, and the 'main' account just ends up with somebody having to retweet lots of things from different accounts before/so it can appear in the main feed that's embedded...
